Strieby, Plagman display power in 2011
Looking at results alone, the Tigers' affiliates struggled across all classifications this season. Triple-A Toledo finished 10 games below .500 in the International League West and Double-A Erie posted the second-worst record in the Eastern League's Western Division.
Class A Advanced Lakeland went 64-74 in the Florida State League and Class A West Michigan failed to earn a playoff spot in the Midwest League's Eastern Division despite finishing a game above .500.
Short-season Connecticut came the closest to the postseason, compiling a 39-35 record in the New York-Penn League's Stedler Division, only to miss out on the playoffs on the final day of the regular season following a 16-inning defeat to Lowell.
Even though Detroit's Minor League teams did not challenge for championships, there were several bright spots throughout the organization, including a group of starting pitchers coming up through the ranks and the growth of several young prospects from the 2009 and '10 Drafts.
Tigers Organization All-Stars
Catcher -- Rob Brantly, West Michigan (75 games), Lakeland (39 games): Brantly showed impressive growth in his first full season of pro ball. A third-round Draft pick in 2010, Brantly hit .274 with a combined 10 homers and 62 RBIs between two levels this season. He batted .303 with seven long balls in 75 games with the Whitecaps before earning a promotion to Lakeland.
Brantly was named a Mid- and Postseason Midwest League All-Star for his solid three months in West Michigan, and he was chosen to play for the Salt River Rafters in the prospect-laden Arizona Fall League.
"Rob is a nice looking hitting catcher," Whitecaps manager Ernie Young said. "Defensively, he came alive as well, throwing the ball to the bases and blocking. He's definitely made himself into a prospect. He did well enough handling the staff that they thought he was ready for the Arizona Fall League, so that in itself is a pretty good accomplishment right there.
"He swung the bat very well and he maintained that while he was there. Defensively, he was one of the better catchers in the league throwing runners out. When you put those [skills], together you have the potential for a good big league catcher."
First base -- Ryan Strieby, Toledo (130 games): Strieby led all Tigers Minor Leaguers with 19 homers this season, and he ranked second in the organization with 76 RBIs. The 26-year-old Washington native played in 76 Triple-A games in 2010 in his first spell with the Mud Hens before injuries cut his season short. He looked comfortable with the demands of a full-season workload this year. His 171 strikeouts were the most in the International League, but that's not something that concerned Toledo skipper Phil Nevin.
"He's got big-time power," Nevin said. "This year, the best part was that he stayed healthy. He's had wrist problems and injuries, and the fact that we had him healthy was big for us and big for him. A couple months into the season, he was finally able to trust his wrist. He had a stretch there [for] about a month-and-a-half where he was one of the best hitters in the league. He carried us in July. That was our best month and he was a big part of that. I think we won 22 or 23 ballgames and as he went, we went.
"I think there's a lot more in there and he'll hit for more power. He's capable of hitting a heck of a lot more than 19 home runs. For a big guy he has great hand speed and hand-eye coordination. He's just got to learn to trust himself as far as how good of a hitter he can be."
Second base -- Brandon Douglas, Erie (124 games): Douglas went about his business quietly in 2011, but his contributions to the Erie offense should not be overlooked. He hit .281 with a career-high 46 RBIs in 124 games, and he swiped 22 bases -- also a personal best -- in 26 attempts. In his first full season at Double-A, Douglas hit 30 doubles and scored 72 runs. While he only went deep three times, he consistently proved to be a tough out.
The University of Northern Iowa product struck out just 57 times in 499 at-bats, and he compiled a 13-game hitting streak between Aug. 12-24 to end the season on a high note.
Will Rhymes also deserves a mention. An International League Midseason All-Star, the 28-year-old hit .306 in 104 games with Toledo and .235 in 29 Major League games, his second stint in the bigs.
"I like them both," director of player development Dave Owen said. "Obviously Rhymes has big-league time, which puts him a little ahead of Brandon, maybe, but Brandon's a head-up kid who knows how to play the game the right way. He's a gap-to-gap guy. They're both contact guys, they both play second base very well and they're both nice players. They will both show you power on occasion."
"Will Rhymes is a solid defender and, offensively, he led off most of the year," Nevin added. "He puts the ball in play and gives you a tough at-bat each time. He really set the tone for us."
Third base -- Nick Castellanos, West Michigan (135 games): The 6-foot-4-inch corner infielder was one of the most effective hitters throughout the Detroit system this year. His .312 average was the fourth-best in the organization, and only Lakeland's Tony Plagman plated more runs (97) than the Tigers' No. 3 prospect, who finished the year with 76. The 19-year-old led the Midwest League with 158 hits and he finished second with 36 doubles, despite a slow start that saw him collect 14 hits and nine RBIs in his first 23 games.
With the slump behind him in his first full pro season, Castellanos -- selected in the first round of the 2010 Draft -- remained hot the rest of the year. He hit .375 in June, .318 in July and .324 in August en route to being named a Midwest League Postseason All-Star.
"He really came on. He struggled at the beginning of the season, but that was more from the added pressure he put on himself than anything else," Young said. "He was pressing for sure. He was putting unnecessary pressure on himself to live up to the first-player-taken-in-the-Draft tag. Once he was able to relax and have fun and play the game the way he knew how to, he improved and improved greatly.
"He's 19 years old and able to hit the ball to all fields. The power will come when he gets stronger and matures more. But he can hit the ball the other way and that's a plus for him."
Shortstop -- Audy Ciriaco, Erie (101 games), Toledo (14 games): A native of the Dominican Republic, Ciriaco, 24, hit .255 with 58 runs scored and 57 RBIs across two levels in 2011. The majority of his season was spent with Erie in the Eastern League, although he was received a promotion to the Mud Hens late in the year. It marked the third season in a row that Ciriaco has had a brief stint in the International League.
Signed by the Tigers as a non-drafted free agent in 2005, the infielder sacrificed power for average this year, but he did set career highs with 23 doubles and eight triples. In 2010, Ciriaco batted .241 with nine homers in 61 EL games; this season he batted .277 -- also a personal best -- with five homers in 101 Double-A contests.
"He's really a good defensive player," Owen said. "He has real good hands and a plus arm. He really came on offensively at the end of the season too. I like Audy a lot.
"I know [hitting coordinator] Toby Harrah has been working with him a lot in Erie to get him staying gap-to-gap, but he's a big strong kid and that power will be there on occasion. He made some nice strides, so hopefully that will continue into Spring Training and on through next year."
Justin Henry, Erie (113 games), Toledo (six games): Henry isn't the kind of power hitter that launches shots over the outfield fences, but what he lacks in raw strength he makes up for in his ability to make contact at the plate and speed around the bases. The University of Mississippi product hit .309 with 52 runs scored, 24 doubles, six triples and 21 stolen bases in 113 Eastern League games with the SeaWolves, and he collected eight hits in six Triple-A games at the end of the year.
His combined .314 average across the two levels ranked third in the organization, while his 23 total steals fell short only to Dixon Machado's 25. A ninth-round Draft pick in 2007, the 26-year-old native of Texas drove in a career-high 47 runs and was named to the EL Midseason All-Star team.
"It's real nice to have a player who can hit for average and steal bases. He plays the game the right way and he's a heads-up smart kid," Owen said. "You can play him all over the field, which is another nice thing about him. He can play just about any position you want. Having a kid like that is very valuable."
Jamie Johnson, Erie (137 games): In his third year of pro ball, Johnson showed steady growth across the board in 2011. The former seventh-round draftee spent the entire season at Erie, setting personal highs in RBIs (51), doubles (33) and stolen bases (14). His 93 runs scored -- also a career best -- led the EL, and he also ranked first with 84 walks.
Johnson projects as a prototypical leadoff hitter, and it's likely that the 24-year-old will see time in Toledo at some point in 2012. If he can cut down on the strikeouts (92 in 2011) and improve on his career stolen base success rate (58 percent), Johnson will likely find success at the next level.
"I was not really surprised by Johnson," Owen said. "He's a competitor and he's going to get after you. He's a scrapper who puts the ball in play. He knows who he is as a player and that's important. It will be nice to see Jamie next year in Spring Training."
Timo Perez, Toledo (122 games): Still going strong at 36 years old, Perez demonstrated he has the ability to hit and run with the best of them. The former World Series champion hit .304 -- the ninth-best mark in the International League -- and stole 16 bases in 18 attempts. He also slugged six homers and 32 doubles, plating 50 runs and scoring 43 times.
In addition, Perez struck out just 41 times in 473 at-bats. He was particularly locked in during July, when he hit .357, recorded six consecutive multi-hit games and swiped seven bags without being thrown out. Finishing the season strong, Perez hit safely in 10 of his final 12 games.
"He's a special guy, and he's great to have in the clubhouse," Nevin said. "He's just a good hitter. He could probably wake up on Christmas morning without picking up a bat for two months and get a base hit. Would you call him a base stealer if you needed a stolen base in a key spot? He's not that kind of guy. He's going to pick his spots when they're not paying attention or times when they're not keeping such a close eye on him. He's a smart base runner and he was able to get a few like that.
"He's done a lot at the Major League level, but as long as he's playing, he doesn't care where that is. He loves the game and that's first and foremost, and that rubs off on everyone else. That's pretty neat to have. Guys talk with him every day about different pitchers and situations and things like that. It's like having an extra hitting coach on hand. He's got a great personality, and he wants to play every day."
Utility -- Tony Plagman, Lakeland (137 games): Plagman flashed a power bat in 2011, driving in an organization-best 97 runs and slugging 18 homers, the second-most in the system. The 6-foot-2-inch slugger batted .257 with 32 doubles and 62 runs scored. The production was a nice surprise for the Tigers, considering Plagman blasted just five homers in his first pro season in 2010 at West Michigan.
This season, Plagman played 64 games at first base and 63 games as Lakeland's designated hitter, platooning at first with Jordan Lennerton. Plagman, who turned 24 in August, also saw 10 games in left field. Among his season highlights was a four-hit, five-RBI performance against Fort Myers on July 29 and a 4-for-5, four-RBI effort against Daytona on April 16.
"We're not really concerned by his age. We're just trying to get him some at-bats," Owen said. "Tony put a nice year together in Lakeland, and he'll get a chance to play in Erie next year. This kid really did a great job hitting with guys in scoring position. He's a good player. He's probably going to get some time in the outfield as well as first base next year, but he swings the bat well. He put up some very nice numbers, RBIs as well as runs and walks. He did a nice job."
Right-handed starting pitcher -- Brennan Smith, Connecticut (14 games), West Michigan (nine games): Smith put together a tidy year between the Midwest League and the New York-Penn League. He made nine appearances with the Whitecaps before being sent down to Connecticut, where he began his career last year.
This time, though, he fared much better. After suffering seven losses a season ago, Smith went 4-3 with a league-leading 1.53 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in 14 starts. He compiled a 34 2/3-inning scoreless streak between Aug. 11 and Sept. 4, including his first career shutout in a 5-0 victory over Hudson Valley on Aug. 30. Across the two levels, Smith finished with a 5-6 record and 2.56 ERA, the second-lowest mark in the organization.
Jacob Turner posted a 4-5 record, a 3.44 ERA and 110 strikeouts over 131 innings between Erie and Toledo before finishing the season with Detroit. Kevin Eichhorn also deserves recognition. He went 11-5 and fashioned a 3.61 ERA in 25 starts for West Michigan.
"Brennan is a competitor. He has a good curveball and good arm speed on his change-up," Owen said. "He attacks the strike zone, and he did well in the instructional league. Jacob Turner's a pretty good guy to pick too, and [Eichhorn] might not show you the velocity as far as the gun reading goes, but he knows how to pitch. He's a very intelligent guy, he reads hitters and knows their swings. I like 'Eich' a lot."
Left-handed starting pitcher -- Drew Smyly, Lakeland (14 games), Erie (eight games): The Tigers have a number of up-and-coming lefties in their midst, but none impressed more in 2011 than Smyly, whose 2.07 ERA was the lowest of any starting pitcher in the organization. The Tigers' No. 6 prospect was one of just five Detroit farmhands to win 10 or more games, and he ranked third in the system with 130 strikeouts in 126 innings.
Smyly, selected in the second round of the 2010 Draft, started the year in the Florida State League, where he went 7-3 in 14 starts prompting a promotion to Erie. The callup did nothing to faze the 22-year-old, as he went on to post a 1.18 ERA and 53 strikeouts in eight outings -- including seven starts.
Jay Voss won 12 games and struck out 131 batters in 27 games between Lakeland and Erie, and Jared Wesson won an organizational-high 15 games with the Flying Tigers.
"Drew Smyly has moxy. He knows how to pitch," Owen said. "He adds and subtracts [speed] very well for being a 22-year-old kid. He obviously has the potential to be a very nice Major League starter."
Relief pitcher -- Chance Ruffin, Erie (31 games), Toledo (13 games), Detroit (two games), Seattle (13 games): Ruffin made the journey from Double-A to the Majors this year and was ultimately traded to Seattle. The 23-year-old right-hander saved 10 games in 14 attempts with Erie, posting a 2.12 ERA and a 3-3 record. This prompted a promotion to Toldeo, where he was even better, saving nine games in 10 tries and compiling a 1.84 ERA.
With the exception of the one save he blew, Ruffin allowed just one earned run in 14 2/3 innings. Selected in the first round of the 2010 Draft out of the University of Texas, Ruffin capped his first pro season by making his Major League debut on July 25.
On Aug. 17, the Tigers tabbed Ruffin as the player to be named later in a deal that sent Casper Wells, Charlie Furbush and Francisco Martinez to the West Coast in exchange for the Mariners' Doug Fister and David Pauley.
"I didn't have Chance for very long, but obviously he did well," Nevin said. "I played with one of the best closers in baseball [in San Diego's Trevor Hoffman], and it takes a special guy with a special makeup to get those last three outs of the game. He blew a game early, but we had a chance to get him out there the next night in a save spot, and I could tell the night before was over with and he went on to save the next 14 in a row.
"He has the right mentality, and he's a good guy in the clubhouse. He's not afraid of anybody, and he pitches to the glove. He has a good fastball that he can dial up a little bit and that he's able to locate, and he has a little bit of movement. He's quick to the plate, and he throws from several different angles. He has a high leg kick, and he gives hitters a lot of different looks. He'll pitch in the big leagues for a long time."
Owen added, "He has a very nice arm, but so does Bruce Rondon and Kenny Faulk. Another kid, Tyler Storr, has a power arm too. Rondon, [the Tigers' No. 9 prospect], has a chance to be a very special kid, so we expect him to continue the nice pace he's on."

We had our week 19 ultrasound this past Wednesday morning where we found out we have a healthy baby who has 10 toes, and 10 fingers and looked to be growing right on schedule. -- Happy Happy News!
The next exciting news – the gender! Well we had to be patient as the technician tucked away our little baby's gender as a secret into an envelope.
We planned to have the gender be a surprise to us for the big announcement and we scheduled a photo shoot with Shine with Jennifer Leigh (a local amazing photographer). We wanted the photo shoot to capture us finding out the big news – but also have the pictures be the big reveal to all our family and friends!
So we are FINALLY VERY VERY EAGER to announce the big news!!!! Have fun taking a look at all our pictures from our baby gender reveal! We had a blast doing this photo shoot and was well worth the mess
As I was searching for a fun way to announce our big news and find out the surprise for ourselves a friend at work suggested using the colored powder she'd seen from the Color Me Rad races, and a few other engagement sessions. I instantly LOVED the idea! I hadn't ever seen it done as a gender reveal and loved how fun it would be for our whole family.
I was kinda always hoping for a girl, and had a feeling it was… my husband thought from day one it was a boy.. and Jackson has said it was a baby sister the entire time except this past week, he started guessing baby brother. Turns out a mother's intuition is right
The weather was perfect, the news was perfect, and it was the perfect way to find out!
Now it's time to plan that nursery and do some shopping!!

NASSAU, Bahamas, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- Jessica Korda overcame windy conditions Friday to shoot a 7-under 66 and take the lead at the midway point of the Pure Silk Bahamas Classic.
Korda finished 36 holes of the opening event on the LPGA Tour this year with a score of 11-under 135 at the Ocean Club.
She is in her fourth year on the tour and has had one victory. She finished among the Top 10 six times in 2013 without a victory.
Paula Creamer, who was paired with Korda during the opening two rounds, shot a tournament-record 65 to seize second place by herself at 136.
"When I'd hit a good shot, she (Korda) hit a good shot, or vice versa," Creamer said. "If she made a putt, I made a putt. It was fun. That's kind of what you want out there."
Michelle Wie and Jenny Suh shared third place at 137. First-round co-leder Lydia Ko shared fifth place at 138 with Na Yeon Choi, Christel Boeljon and P.K. Kongkraphan.
Ko, 16, a two-time winner on the tour as an amateur, is playing in her first event on the circuit as a professional.

Most putters are 35" in length and that forces many golfers to stand too upright.
With this stance their eyes will be inside the line of the ball.
Does the length of your putter impact your setup and alignment, and therefore on your 10-foot success percentage?
Test yourself with 10 x 10 foot putts on a flat line. Come and see us and let's see you take the test, while we check out your setup, alignment and aim.

Orange Polenta Cake with Blackberries & Plums
Desserts in the summer should be delightful. Fresh and vibrant. I think you get a little more leeway with summer desserts…it can be an unexpected little something to try…so serious expectations. So I say, run with it. Try something new, be a little different and surprising! Polenta cake fits the bill. Think of this as somewhere in between corn bread and a citrus cake.
(Although I did not get the post up right on time, this cake was inspired by the Daring Cooks August Challenge…credit where credit is due!)
Rachael of pizzarossa was our August 2012 Daring Cook hostess and she challenged us to broaden our knowledge of cornmeal! Rachael provided us with some amazing recipes and encouraged us to hunt down other cornmeal recipes that we'd never tried before – opening our eyes to literally 100s of cuisines and 1000s of new-to-us recipes!
Original recipe can be found here at from the Bon Appetit website and is also on epicurious!
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup medium-fine polenta or organic cornmeal (such as Bob's Red Mill)1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 teaspoons (packed) finely grated orange peel
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup whole-milk greek yogurt
3 plums, sliced with pits removed
½ pint blackberries
Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Butter 9x5x3-inch metal loaf pan. (I used a mini bundt pan and a quarter size loaf pan which seemed to hold all the batter.) Dust pan with flour; tap out excess.
Whisk 1 1/4 cups flour, polenta, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl.
I used Golden Pheasant Polenta and the texture was perfect – coarse enough to notice but not so much that it ruined the texture of the cake batter!
Using electric mixer, beat sugar, butter, and orange peel in large bowl until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Add flour mixture in 3 additions alternately with yogurt in 2 additions, beating just until blended after each addition. Spread batter evenly in pan.Bake cake until golden and tester inserted into center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes (my mini pans took less time…I started them with 35 minutes and tested every few minutes after).
In the meantime, prepare the plums and blackberries so they have enough time to macerate.
Halve the plums (I used 3) and remove the pit and then slice somewhat thinly. Add in a handful of blackberries and sprinkle with 2-3 tablespoons of sugar.
Toss gently and let sit for at least an hour.
Transfer to rack; cool in pan 15 minutes.
Run knife around cake edges to loosen. Invert cake onto rack, then invert again on rack (top side up). Cool completely.
Cut cake crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices; serve with sugared plums and blackberries.
And for a little extra ummmpffff…top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
This cake was delicious the next morning, sliced, toasted and spread with just a bit of butter. I may have eaten it for a week straight this way!
This looked so good, I went ahead and made it. The cake is cooling as I write this. Can't wait to taste it! –NancySeptember 3, 2012

Story highlights
- John Dingell: 40% of drugs, 80% of ingredients are from overseas, mainly China, India
- We have no monitoring system to prevent counterfeit or contaminated drugs, he writes
- Dingell: The FDA lacks the authorization to ensure these drugs meet U.S. standards
- We need to pass legislation that gives FDA proper funding and authority, he says
When Americans pick up their prescriptions from the pharmacy or reach for a prescription bottle from their medicine cabinet, they probably don't think much about where the drugs were made or whether they are safe.
What most Americans don't realize is the staggering fact that the number of drug products manufactured outside the United States has doubled between 2001 and 2008. Nearly 40% of all drugs taken by Americans come from overseas, and nearly 80% of the active pharmaceutical ingredients used to make these drugs also come from foreign countries -- mainly China and India.
I support the global marketplace, but we must be aware that without the proper enforcement of quality standards, the trust we put in the safety of the prescriptions we take can be broken at any time by a supplier in China, a counterfeiter in India or an importer from Thailand.
Too many people believe incorrectly that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has the authority to properly monitor our drug supply system for safety. Under current law, the FDA does not have the authority to require a manufacturer to notify the agency if a drug has been corrupted, to recall pharmaceuticals that the FDA believes are unsafe, to refuse imported pharmaceuticals that are counterfeited at the border or to ensure that drug manufacturers are responsible for quality controls throughout their supply chain. These are authorities we must give to FDA if we are to truly oversee the safety of our drug supply.
Even more worrisome is the inability of the FDA to conduct comparable inspections of domestic and foreign pharmaceutical manufacturers. It lacks the necessary funding and personnel.
Domestic pharmaceutical facilities are inspected, on average, every two years by the FDA, whereas foreign drug facilities are inspected only every nine years. According to the Government Accountability Office, some of the 3,765 foreign drug establishments in the FDA's database may never have been inspected. An increasing demand, coupled with an expanding globalized drug market, blatantly calls for a more globalized and fully equipped FDA.
A globalized FDA not only would ensure safety; it would also level the playing field for our manufacturers.
FDA approval is the gold standard in the world marketplace: domestic pharmaceutical and ingredient manufacturers in the United States are held to that high standard. Their foreign counterparts should be, too. These competitors are from countries like India and China, nations that are home to 70% of the world's drug manufacturing sites, up from just 49% in 2004.
Now, more than ever, U.S. manufacturing facilities should be rewarded, not penalized, for retaining jobs in the United States. It is not only fair and the right thing to do to protect American competitiveness, it's critically important for the health of American consumers.
Although improved drug safety authorities for the FDA are important, they will be ineffective without a reliable funding stream, free from political whims, to implement them. A chronically underfunded agency, like the FDA, cannot successfully oversee our drug supply's safety without a stable funding source that will allow the agency to hire the staff it needs to conduct inspections overseas or to monitor pharmaceuticals that are entering our country. The re-authorization of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, which expires in October, offers an opportunity to remedy these problems.
As we begin debate and negotiations around the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, we have a responsibility to ensure that we are equipping the FDA with the resources, personnel and authorities to assure the pharmaceuticals Americans take every day are neither contaminated, counterfeited, corrupted nor mislabeled.
It is hard to believe that it already has been three years since the contaminated blood thinner heparin, which authorities believe originated in China, killed several people and caused multiple cases of serious illness. Although fears generated by this crisis may have subsided, the reality that it can happen again should be fresh in the minds of those of us on the Hill as we reauthorize the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, and give the FDA more authority in the process.
This is not and should not be a partisan issue. We must focus not only on making, and ensuring timely access to, the latest innovative drug treatments, but on establishing one quality standard for every drug sold in the United States. American consumers, and their families, deserve no less.

| 10.6°C Belfast
Author Stefanie Zweig, best known for her autobiographical novel Nowhere In Africa, has died at the age of 81.
German news agency dpa cited her nephew Walter Zweig as saying the author died on Friday after a "short, serious illness".
Zweig was born in 1932 in Leobschuetz, now part of Poland. In 1938, her family fled the Nazi persecution of Jews and moved to Kenya, where she attended a British school.
Zweig returned to Germany in 1947 and worked as a journalist for many years before she began writing novels.
Of her more than two dozen books Nowhere In Africa, first published in 1995, was the most successful, retelling the story of her family's time in Kenya.
A movie adaptation won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2003.

NEW LONDON — A Canterbury man accused of sexually assaulting two young girls was paid by the state to baby-sit them, according to police.
Shawn Keck, 41, formerly of Sprague, is accused of molesting the girls several times at their homes in Norwich and Jewett City in 2004 and 2005, when the sisters were between the ages of 6 and 8, police said.
The state Department of Social Services' Care 4 Kids program paid Keck to baby-sit five nights a week while the girls' mother worked, police said in an arrest warrant.
The Care 4 Kids program helps low-income and moderate-income families pay for child care. Child care providers, who receive different amounts of pay based on their level of expertise, must be licensed by the state Department of Public Health unless they are family members.
Keck has never been licensed as a day care provider, health department spokesman William Gerrish said.
A Department of Social Services spokesman did not respond to an emailed inquiry.
Keck was arrested in March after an investigation that lasted nearly a year. He is in jail, held on $200,000 bail. Keck's case was continued Monday in New London Superior Court.
Keck is charged with four counts of first-degree sexual assault and four counts of risk of injury to a child. If convicted on all counts, he faces up to 120 years in prison.
Keck does not have a criminal record, according to the state Judicial Department website.
According to state police, the two girls came forward in April 2012, when one was 12 and the other 13. They told a state Department of Children and Families counselor that Keck, whom they called "Uncle Bull," had molested them, including forcing them to perform oral sex, police said.
After the counseling session, the sisters wrote a letter telling their mother about the abuse, which they said they had kept secret until then, police said.
Questioned by state police in May 2012, Keck admitted both the girls had touched him inappropriately at his request, according to police, but he denied they had performed oral sex on him.
The girl's mother told police that Keck started baby-sitting her two girls and three boys in 2004, when they lived in Norwich.
He is scheduled to return to court for a pretrial appearance on Feb. 25.

(CNN) — Inside the Kansas City home that Jovan Belcher fled, his baby daughter wailed, his mother was in hysterics and his girlfriend was quiet. Barely breathing.
This is what the NFL linebacker left behind on Saturday in a rush of violence that left many wondering why.
Few answers came from 911 tapes released this week by police. But the tapes provide a heartbreaking soundtrack of the fleeting moments the morning that police say Belcher killed his girlfriend Kasandra Perkins and then later turned the gun on himself just outside the front door of the Chiefs' practice facility.
"Oh my God. Oh my God. Cassie," Belcher's mother, Cheryl Shepherd, bawled. "The baby is crying … Please get the ambulance here!"
"OK, we're on the way, " the dispatcher said. "We've been on the way the whole time. How old is the patient?"
"Twenty-two," the mother said.
"Is she breathing?" the dispatcher asked.
"She is still breathing but barely. Please hurry. I don't know how many times he shot her. They had been arguing …" the mother said.
"OK, she's been shot?" the dispatcher asked.
Then moments later the mother seemed to direct her shouts to the wounded woman in the home.
"You hear me? Kasandra! Hey!. Stay with me!"
"Ma'am," the dispatcher said. "Listen. Is she awake?"
"She's barely," the mother said. "She's just barely. She is moving when I talk to her."
"OK," the dispatcher said.
"Oh, God," the mother moaned.
" Is she bleeding?" The dispatcher asked.
"Yes, she is …."
But the rest of what's said was obscured by the screams of the young child.
A police officer gets on the phone and tries to get information about Belcher from the distraught mother.
The mother did not answer questions about the whereabouts of her 6-foot-2, 228-pound son, a standout 25-year-old starting linebacker for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Instead, in a voice rising as the moments passed, the mother begged for an ambulance.
"Ma'am, the ambulance is on the way. What's your son's name? What kind of car did your son leave in? Or was he on foot?" the officer said.
There was no response.
"Sounds like she disconnected," the dispatcher said. " I wanted to give her some bleeding advice also … Ma'am, are you there?"
But there was no response.
And all that can be heard are the screams of the baby.

AURAI is an ethical swimwear brand that has a deep respect for nature. AURAI work to raise the importance of better practice in fashion, supporting craftsmanship, fair trade and local sourcing of materials.
Founded by Italo-Brazilian designer Natalia Bertolo. Natalia, born in southern Brazil, graduated from University before moving to Milan, where she pursued a Master's Degree in Fashion Management. Currently she lives and works in Auckland, New Zealand.
Inspired by her eco-design studies, developing a new generation of products and materials that have a more positive impact over the entire product cycle and the slow fashion movement, Natalia's design philosophy includes a commitment to producing high quality swimwear. Among many design awards received, in 2011 Natalia won the Fashion Category of the International Talentos Design Competition which encourages the creation of sustainable projects to raise awareness about the potential synergies between sustainability, creativity and technology.
AURAI aim to reflect the essence of a fun, healthy and conscious lifestyle, featuring high quality materials, timeless silhouettes, colour palettes and exclusive prints. The AURAI collection is carefully handmade in Natalia's hometown in southern Brazil, where she locally sources all materials.
Since launching in 2015, AURAI has worked to raise the importance of better practices in fashion, supporting craftsmanship, fair trade businesses and local sourcing of materials.
AURAI guarantee environmental consciousness and ethical labor practices - no child or forced labor, no discrimination, and adequate work time and pay.
All garments are shaped to have a long life span, considering aesthetic aspects as well. All AURAI pieces are fully lined (with biodegradable fabric) or doubled, to ensure durability. A mix & match concept allows plenty of combinations among the collection pieces as well as with the pieces women already have in their wardrobes.
Almost all the AURAI pieces feature functional design, such as reversible options and customizable ties. Natalia believes that functionality discourages unnecessary purchases.
All AURAI suppliers are very close to their manufacturing facility, minimizing the cost and impact of transportation.
Until not long ago, to make swimwear brands relied almost exclusively on fabrics made with a mix of polyester and elastane, both synthetic fibers. To reduce environmental impact, AURAI always use high quality fabrics to make garments as durable as possible in order to prolong life span.
The first AURAI collection experimented with fish leather, a material discarded by the food industry that often ends up polluting rivers and lakes. Other materials include ECONYL®, 100% regenerated nylon made from recovered fish nets, old carpets and other industrial components, and AMNI SOUL ECO®, a bio-degradable fiber made in Brazil. Traditionally, a polyamide fiber takes decades to disintegrate. In tests, the AMNI SOUL ECO® yarn biodegraded by 50% in just over one year, with an estimation that after 28 months, it will biodegrade 100%.
AURAI are always searching for new technologies that can help develop more sustainable and creative products. Digital print is one of them, allowing them to create beautiful patterns that can be printed in small quantities without using water and harmful chemicals.
AURAI packaging consists only of a reusable drawstring mini bag made of 100% cotton towel fabric and a box made from 100% recycled paper.

Habitual human behavior affects us the same way as the moon influences ocean tides and the sun influences Earth's daily rotation through the solar system.
Once established and repeated over and over, our habitual behavior acts like gravity always and continuously pulling us into increasingly comfortable and persistent behaviors. Some habits result in healthy outcomes. Other habits – unhealthy consequences.
I habitually wash dishes. I wash dishes as I cook. When I find dirty dishes in our kitchen sink, I find myself compelled to rinse them before throwing them in the dishwasher. If it wasn't for dishwashers, my hands might fall off chapped and withered. For the most part, that habit proves useful. Ninety percent of all our dishes, knives, spoons, forks, skillets, pots and pans sit cleanly on shelves ready for use. Plus, no one ever complained about feeling ill after they came to dinner at my home.
On the other hand, perhaps God cares less about me washing dishes than providing spiritual direction. God might say to me, "Spend less time washing dishes and more time guiding others to intentionally change their unhealthy habits into better ones. My response to God might be, "If Jesus dropped by my home to enjoy a meal on my newly cleaned dishes cooked in clean pots and pans, that helps you, God, by fueling your Messiah onward in ministry without fear of gastric upset or worse." I consider dishwashing a reasonable trade off: God gets healthy ministers to teach and guide those searching for spiritual enlightenment when I provide them with meals that do no harm.
I developed a new habit. Since entering the ranks of nearly retired people, I awake most nights around three o'clock each morning. For the most part, I feel rested; and, I learned that as we age, we require less sleep.
I wander into our kitchen. If I find dirty dishes, I wash them before I make myself return to bed to get another couple hours of sleep. Sometimes I fail to fall back asleep, so I write sermons in my head. By the time I arrive at my church office, I feel ready to dive into writing a new sermon. I guess God sees my sleep deprivation as a worthy habit promoting the Kingdom of God despite my bleary eyes.
Habits act like gravity. Once an avenue allowing gravity to perform, gravity consistently acts to perform the same action over and over.
For example, every year my son's science teacher required each student to enter the school's science fair. Most parents relished this opportunity, so that they – the parents – found ways to show off their scientific prowess by putting together massive, gorgeous and well documented science projects almost as if as they, the parents and not their child, never got enough recognition carrying extensive science fair projects as student. Or maybe those parents believed that if their child received an "A+" on their science project, a scholarship from a rich and powerful university might arrive in the mail.
In contrast, I lamented those annual science fair project, because God gave little abilities in science to me. So, every year my son and I sat around attempting to come up with some adequate project.
One year, worn out with stress caused by no ideas for a science project, I gave up. After deciding that parents of successful science projects might find glee soffing at my son and I, I went to work feeling like a complete failure.
Yet, then it hit me. If I bought a 2-foot strand of rope and put one end in a bucket of dirty water and put the other end in an empty bucket, then with gravity's help, clean water filled the empty bucket after the strand of rope acted like a filter. I grew so excited about gravity's power that I saw myself winning an otherwise hopeless science fair award. My son and I thought that our genius finally found its way into the world's purview. I saw myself winning the Nobel Prize for Science along with seeing complete envy on other parents' faces.
Needless to say, my son and I once again found ourselves awarded with "Honorable Mention." Not long after that science fair, he and I dropped out completely deflated.
Yet, I learned about the gravity with its constant and guaranteeable power to direct matter the same way that habits direct our behavior. Using us the same as using that strand of rope, our habits draw us along one avenue of behavior like gravity between the sun and moon draw the Earth and ocean tides. Once we establish a habit, the tendency to repeat kicks in.
Jesus among many great biblical teachers about habits – some being unhealthy, especially continually stealing from the poor or willingly avoiding the worship of the God who brought the Hebrews out of slavery to Egypt and into the Promised Land.
While I live more than a few less than habits myself, I find myself needing to engage in caution, reading wisdom lessons to help me re-establish a healthier set of behaviors. Like most of us, I struggle with those lessons and often fall short. Yet, I know where I can go to relearn lessons that I forget. I suggest we all might develop that habit of knowing where to go to find those healthy and healing lessons.

Anti-Aging Flower Power
As a lady in my early 30s (I done did say it, people), I'm definitely interested in staying young-looking for as long as possible. My main goal is to look 28 when I'm 62. I've been stocking up on under-eye creams, anti-wrinkle serums, moisturizers—anything I can get my lil' paws on, really.
I wanted to share one of my recent finds with you that I've gone gaga over: Marie Veronique's Anti-Aging Body Oil (with Rose and Neroli). Now, I'm already a fan of Marie Veronique skincare; they have a sunscreen that is out-of-this-world awesome, so I knew this body oil was gonna be the shit before I even tried it.
Why am I am currently addicted to this body oil?
- It smells like a botanical garden (it's like wearing rose perfume).
- It combats aging with essential fatty acids and anti-oxidants from watermelon seed oil, vegetable squalene and apricot kernel oil.
- A 4 oz bottle of body oil is made with more than 1 pound of neroli flowers and 420 (!) roses—this super concentrated potion packs a punch!
- It protects and repairs the lipid barrier with essential fatty acids from avocado and jojoba oils.
- It's moisture-rich and feels amazing on my skin.
- And most importantly, it's 100% vegan and cruelty-free.
Ingredients: Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba oil), Persea americana (avocado oil), Prunus armeniaca (apricot kernel oil), Citrullus Vulgaris/Lanatus (watermelon seed oil), vegetable squalene (from olive oil), Rosemary oleoresin, Rosa damascena (Rose)essential oil, Citrus aurantium (Neroli) essential oil, Helichrysum italicum (Helichrysum), Pelagonium graveolens (Rose Geranium) essential oil, Curcuma longa Rhizome (Curcuma) essential oil
What do you use as part of your anti-aging beauty regimen?

Does your site have a contact page? I'm having a tough time locating it but, I'd like
to shoot you an email. I've got some recommendations for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it expand over time.
I'll have to give it a try. I'm in my mid-30's….still being told I look like I'm in my mid-20's and want to keep it that way. I've also developed adult acne; P! I recently started using the Solay Aging Beautifully natural soap and love love love it because it addresses all my issues.
It's 100% vegan, 100% natural with no preservatives, SLS or synthetic fragrance.
You can find it here:
Sounds like a good preventive measure. How do you use it: spray, rub, something else?
Also, how much does lifestyle play in such a regimen? Are things like drinking water, digesting properly, and getting enough rest part and parcel with looking good into your old age, or do you think the topical ointments are enough?
I'm male, so my view on aging and looks might be different 🙂 My anti-aging regimen includes drinking water, resting, being positive, and smiling a lot.
Sounds divine! Is this line sold at Whole Foods?

Weather Blog: January Long Range Forecast
Thank you for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 Blog! Will January live up to its billing as the coldest and snowiest month of the year in Milwaukee? To answer this question we use Lezak's Recurring Cycle, or the LRC to pinpoint when specific weather events will occur and to forecast how much snow and cold to expect during the month.
Let's start with how many landscapes are looking here in southeast Wisconsin to close December. The snowy photo below from Julie Franco of Burlington shows a beautiful winter wonderland.
Here's a look at how December 2012 finished in Milwaukee and what we were forecasting based before the month started.
Snowfall 6.7" (-3.9") Forecast called for below average snowfall.
Temperatures Above average. Forecast called for near average temperatures.
We also forecast a colder second half of December, and clearly that occurred as temperatures were a little closer to average the final 2 weeks of December. The active period we defined before the month started occurred, and delivered a majority of the precipitation in our area during December.
Before we breakdown the January forecast, let's go over the basics of the weather pattern theory(LRC) we use to make the forecast. Remember, we have been using the LRC in Milwaukee for the past several years with a great deal of accuracy and success to provide you forecasts weeks or months in advance!
Here are the basics of the LRC:
- A unique weather pattern sets up every year between the start of fall and mid-November.
- Long term long-wave troughs(low pressure) and ridges(high pressure) become established. These dominant repeating features are clues to where storm systems will reach peak strength, and where they will be their weakest.
- Once the weather pattern is set it cycles, repeats, and continues through winter, spring and into summer. Identifying the cycle length helps tremendously when making long range weather predictions.
- The LRC is a 10-11 month pattern! There is a pattern! It isn't just one long-wave trough, storm system, or ridge. It is a sequence of troughs and ridges that are cycling around the Northern Hemisphere.
Using the LRC and knowing the cycle duration is around 51-53 days in our current weather pattern, we can project forward highlighting potential active periods, dry stretches, and big temperature changes.
Before we look at the month ahead, here's a look at the January averages in Milwaukee.
Snowfall: 14.7"
Precipitation: 1.76"
Average High: 29 degrees on the 1st & 31st
Average Low: 16 degrees on the 1st & 31st
Below is the breakdown of January 2013 forecast based on the LRC.
January 1-7 This period is covered well in our current 7 day forecast. The 'dry' period of the LRC continues through this week. Expect any precipitation to be light, possible late Jan 2 or early Jan 3 as snow showers or flurries. Temperatures will start cold, in fact if the high temperature is below 18 degrees or colder it would be the coldest New Year's Day since 1988(High: 7).
Temperatures will quickly moderate as the first week progresses. Highs near or above average by January 3-5 which will continue to around end of week 1.
January 8-15 Week two starts with temperatures near or above average. With milder temperatures in place a system that arrives around Jan 10-11 may start as rain and transition over to a mix or snow.
A quick temperature change possible as a system provides a chance of snow to the area around Jan 14-15.
January 16-23 A cold push of air will follow the 14-15 system and hang on through Jan 17 or 18.
Temperatures should moderate around Jan 19-21, few snow showers possible closer to 20-21. The end of this period will begin the active part of the LRC. The active period should provide numerous chances for 'wetter' storm systems and periods of harsh winter weather between January 22-February 12.
The active period should kickoff with a system around Jan 23-25.
January 24-31
The Jan 23-25 system can be tied back to the previous 2 cycles in our weather pattern.
Let's take a look at the feature in October and again when it repeated in December. The 500mb(middle of the atmosphere) map below is from October 14, 2012. On this day a trough of low pressure was present over the Midwest. This system produced over 1" of precipitation in Milwaukee over a two day span.
Fast forwarding 51 days, or 1 cycle, the feature again pushed into the Midwest on December 4, 2012. The trough or low pressure area produced about 0.30" of precipitation Dec 2-3. Comparing the map above and below, you can see the features tracked through the same long term longwave position.
When this system returns Jan 23-25 a quick warm-up may arrive ahead of the main system. Precipitation in the form of rain, a mix, or snow is possible. A surge of cold air will follow the system and keep temperatures below average for a day or two.
The active period continues with another storm system around Jan 29-30. This feature last cycled through our weather pattern around December 9. The 500mb map below shows a trough of low pressure from the Rockies to the upper Midwest on December 9, 2012. In December the system produced 0.60" of precipitation in Milwaukee.
With seasonally colder temperatures expected as the feature returns, snow is possible around Jan 29-30. Another push of cold air will arrive as the storm exits the Midwest. This should provide a cold end to January and chilly start to February.
Temperatures Above Average -- Temperatures will not be as far above average as December. Best chance of a below zero temperature would occur around January 16-18 or around the final day of the month.
Snowfall Near Average -- Snow totals for the month will hinge on precipitation type with the 'wetter' systems from the middle through the end of January.
The active period will continue through around February 12. One of the signature storm systems of this LRC should return to the region around Feb 9-12. Jan-Feb active period should produce 12"+ snow in Milwaukee.

Have a great day!

March 16, 2010 -- When people think about skin cancer, often it's melanoma, the deadliest form, that comes to mind. But a new study suggests that nonmelanoma skin cancers, already the most common form of cancer in the United States, appear to be on the rise.
From 1992 to 2006, cases of nonmelanoma skin cancer in the Medicare population rose an average of 4.2% a year, according to the study, which appears in this week's Archives of Dermatology. In 2006, there were an estimated 3.5 million nonmelanoma skin cancers overall in the U.S., and about 2.1 million people were treated for the disease.
"These data give the most complete evaluation to date of the underrecognized epidemic of skin cancer in the United States," the authors say.
The purpose of the study was to gauge the incidence of nonmelanoma skin cancer in the United States. Such an estimate is important because although nonmelanoma skin cancer has substantial associated costs and morbidity (deaths are fewer than for other cancers, but it is still significant), it is not reported in most cancer registries, the authors say. Hence, the actual incidence of nonmelanoma skin cancer is not known.
"Understanding skin cancer incidence and treatment is important for planning prevention strategies and allocating resources for treatment," the authors say.
To estimate the incidence and treatment of cases of nonmelanoma skin cancer in 2006 in the overall U.S. population, Howard Rogers, MD, PhD, a dermatologist in Norwich, Conn., and colleagues, evaluated Medicare databases and a national survey based on visits to doctor offices.
"The data presented herein from national databases indicate that the incidence of skin cancer in the United States has substantially increased from 1992 to 2006 and is now about double the last published estimate from 1994," the authors write.
The study has significant limitations in how it estimated the incidence of nonmelanoma skin cancer, including the assumption that one treatment procedure equates to one incident of nonmelanoma skin cancer. Still, "it provides a much stronger NMSC [nonmelanoma skin cancer] estimate than has previously been published," they write.

Elevate your dog at mealtime—many dogs like having their bowls raised off the floor. Here's one attractive way to do just that, and it's also a space-saver, since when dinner's over, the stand can be folded up and put away until the next meal. (This stand is sized for a medium to large dog and holds a 15" stainless steel lipped bowl. Dimensions can be easily scaled to fit any size pup.)
4' length of 1" x 12" pine
4 1" gate hinges*
2 folding lid supports (one right, one left)
Optional: Acrylic primer and paint or other wood finish/sealer
*Note: To make a nonfolding version of this stand, use fixed brackets instead of hinges to connect the top and legs, and leave off the folding supports.
Download plan (PDF)
Electric drill
Phillips head driver bit
Large diameter drill bit
Dremel with a sanding drum bit (optional)
Large compass
Measuring tape
Paint brush and small paint roller
Eye protection
Beginning: Cut the top and two legs.*
Top: From one end of the board, cut a 24" piece, using a jigsaw or hand saw.
Legs: Cut the remaining piece into two 12" pieces.
Smooth the cut edges with sandpaper.
*Many hardware stores can make these basic cuts for you—be sure they measure and cut precisely!
Sign up for our newsletter and stay in the know.
Middle: Cut the openings for the bowls.
Measure the inside diameter of the lipped feeding bowl.
•Using a compass, draw two circles on the top (24" piece) where you would like the bowls to sit; we positioned our bowls to sit at the center of each half.
•Clamp the board to your worktable, ensuring that the circle you are working on is hanging over the edge!
•Drill a hole anywhere inside the circle.
•Put the blade of the jigsaw through the hole, cut out the circle.
•Unclamp, flip the board around and repeat the previous three steps.
•Sand the inside edges of holes that you just cut to smooth any rough edges and snags.*
*Note: It is easier and neater to paint the stand before you put it together. However, if you plan to apply any delicate decorations, you will want to save this part until after the stand is assembled.
End: Assemble the stand.
To attach the hinges, place the top upside down on your worktable.
•Holding one of the legs against the end of the top, position hinges and screw into place.
•Repeat for the second leg.
•Attach folding supports per packages instructions.
Bone handles: Draw bone on a piece of paper, then cut it out. (We used a bone shaped cookie cutter as our stencil.)
•Using this as a stencil, tracing the shape on each leg; the bone cutouts can be used as handles, so position them in approximately the same spot on either side.
•Clamp the board to your worktable.
•Drill a hole on the inside of the bone.
•Put blade of jigsaw through the hole, cut out the bone using your jigsaw.
•Repeat previous three steps on the second side. •Thoroughly sand the inside edges of the bone (the Dremel—a small rotary tool—with the sanding attachment makes this step a cinch).
Leg notch: Mark the center of the leg (6"), then mark 4" in on either side.
•From the center point mark 5" up; make another mark 3" up from the center point.
•Using a ruler, draw a line connecting the 4" mark on the bottom to the mark 5" up from center.
•Do this for the 4" marks on either side of the bottom edge creating a triangle.
•Draw a line across the triangle at the 3" point, creating a trapezoid.
•Clamp the leg to a worktable and using a jigsaw, cut out the trapezoid.
•Repeat on the other leg.
•Sand the inside edges.
Level of Difficulty: Moderate

As part of AdvisorOne's Special Report, 20 Days of Tax Planning Advice for 2013, throughout the month of March, we are partnering with our Summit Business Media sister service, Tax Facts Online, to take a deeper dive into certain tax planning issues in a convenient Q&A format. In this 10th article, we look at the tax advantages of ETFs.
Q. What are the tax advantages of owning ETFs?
One of the advantages of owning ETFs is their tax efficiency.
ETFs enjoy a more favorable tax treatment than mutual funds due to their unique structure. Mutual funds create and redeem shares with in-kind transactions that are not considered sales. As a result, they do not create taxable events. However, when you sell an ETF, the trade triggers a taxable event. Whether it is a long-term or short-term capital gain or loss depends on how long the ETF was held. In the United States, to receive long-term capital gains treatment you must hold an ETF for more than one year. If you hold the security for one year or less, then it will receive short-term capital gains treatment.
Planning Point: Long term capital gains are normally taxed at a favorable rate, at least for 2012.
As with stocks, you are subject to the wash-sale rules if you sell an ETF for a loss and then buy it back within 30 days. A wash sale occurs when you sell or trade a security at a loss and within 30 days after the sale you:
•Buy a substantially identical ETF,
•Acquire a substantially identical ETF in a fully taxable trade, or
•Acquire a contract or option to buy a substantially identical ETF
Planning Point: If your loss was disallowed because of the wash-sale rules, you should add the disallowed loss to the cost of the new ETF. This increases your basis in the new ETF. This adjustment postpones the loss deduction until the disposition of the new ETF. Your holding period for the new ETF begins on the same day as the holding period of the ETF that was sold.
Many ETFs generate dividends from the stocks they hold. Ordinary (taxable) dividends are the most common type of distribution from a corporation. According to the IRS, you can assume that any dividend you receive on common or preferred stock is an ordinary dividend unless the paying corporation tells you otherwise. These dividends are taxed when paid by the ETF as ordinary income.
Qualified dividends are subject to the same maximum tax rate that applies to net capital gains. In order to qualify:
1. An American company or a qualifying foreign company must have paid the dividend.
2.The dividends must not be listed with the IRS as dividends that do not qualify.
3. The required dividend holding period must be met.
The ETF provider should tell you whether the dividends that have been paid are ordinary or qualified.
